https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...
With a violent and abusive past, Flint Klemens lives on the fringes of society and within a sliver of his sanity. He’s compromised by a corrupt Attorney General, drug pushers and businessmen who try their best to sideline him for speaking out. By chance he meets Gwennie, and they move interstate to start anew, only to find themselves caught in a web of corruption and vice. Gwennie disappears and Flint’s left to deal with his psychotic mind. He is taunted by his enemies who, he discovers, are more closely linked than ever before.
Crack Falling's themes of perseverance, identity and place are pivotal to the narrative that follows the young lives of the central characters Flint and Gwennie. Both struggle with memories of domestic violence and abuse, and aim to deal with their drug addictions and find their place. They struggle against vice and corruption, finding themselves in compromising situations. Flint and Gwennie try to vindicate themselves, actively seeking out those wishing them harm.
Flint fights his own inner-turmoil’s, Gwennie surrounds herself in mystery and they both become pawns in a much larger drug conspiracy, finding that the world is small and that curiosity sometimes doesn’t kill the cat. Crack Falling will have you on the edge of your seat, turning pages in a race to match the pace and find out whether justice will be served.

Death Masque


https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...
Enter for a chance to win 1 of 5 first edition copies of Give it Back. Danielle Esplin's debut novel.
“I stayed up to finish it. Scared my husband when I started yelling at my iPad because it stopped! I can see me adding this to my list of favorites and reading it over and over. I stopped watching Dr Who because I was so wrapped up in the story.”
Not long ago, Lorraine lost her husband to another woman. She thought that's the worst thing that could happen to her, but soon she realizes it's only the beginning of an everlasting nightmare.
The au pair, Lexy, moves to Seattle to help Lorraine with her infant son. But she didn't come for the kids, she came for something else.
When Ella receives a call from her sister, Lorraine, who begs her to leave San Diego to spend time with her in Seattle, she thinks she will take a few days off from work. Frightened to see how her sister weakened since her diagnoses, she packs her small bag with a foreboding that this might be the last time she sees her.
But on her way to the airport she learns that something shocking had happened between the day she last spoke with Lorraine and the morning of the flight. Lorraine’s testimony changes, making Ella question how unreliable her sister really is.
Soon Ella is entangled in a mysterious investigation, and more so, in the lives of everyone involved. Not only will she realize that she won’t go home soon, but she will never look at others the way she did before

On April 20, 1999 two teenage boys killed 13 people and wounded 21 others at Columbine High School. At the time I had three high school age stepchildren. The thought of something like that happening hit everyone in our family hard. Since then, school shootings have become nearly epidemic. Why they are happening percolated in my mind over the years and I wondered about the impact on not only the victims’ families, but those of the perpetrators. Eventually, those thoughts compelled me to write my third Mike Gage Thriller, THE SHOOTING. Though I obviously didn’t plan it this way, it’s almost like reading today’s headlines.
Here’s a summary:
A shooting at an exclusive Florida high school masks an even more insidious plot. When authorities are tight-lipped about the incident’s details, anguished families retain former homicide investigator Mike Gage to find the answers they so desperately seek. Mike knew one of the dead kids, the daughter of a close associate, motivating him even more to discover what happened and why. As Gage digs into the backgrounds of the two shooters and finds that one was the victim of early childhood abuse, an attempt on his own life tells Gage he’s on the right track. That dangerous road eventually leads to a shadily-financed school for boys, behavior-altering drugs, and a mind-warping on-line game that portends youthful terrorism nationwide.
Rather than label it a ‘thriller’, I believe it might be classified more of the mystery/suspense nature. Advance readers have told me it’s ‘hard to put down.’

Synopsis:
Henry Shaw leads a relatively quiet life trying to balance his work at a growing law firm with his family life, including supporting his teenage son who has a promising soccer career ahead of him. But all of that changes when Henry’s bipolar brother, in one of his manic states, tells him that Goliath didn’t really die as told in the biblical story – and that he is Goliath.
When his brother disappears along with a media magnate, the FBI and the local police believe they may have been part of a secret international network and that Goliath was his brother’s code name. The solution to this puzzle may reside in his brother’s laptop computer, which mysteriously disappears during a break-in at his house.
Is his brother dead or just hiding from forces trying to destroy the network? Henry tries to solve the puzzle along with an intriguing woman he encounters at an airport bar.

My debut thriller, THE ANONYMOUS SOURCE, is free until 3/12/16 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/The-Anonymous-S...
Would love to hear your thoughts on it!
Here's what it's about:
FIND THE SOURCE. BREAK THE STORY. STAY ALIVE.
ONE YEAR AFTER the 9/11 attacks, Alex Vane--a brilliant, fitness-obsessed reporter for The New York Standard--wants nothing more than to break into the flashy world of TV news. But when he uncovers the scoop of a lifetime, his tightly controlled world is rocked: his editor buries his story, a source turns up dead, and Alex finds himself at the center of a violent media conspiracy.
AS HE RECEIVES TIPS from a mysterious source, Alex enlists the help of a captivating professor, Camila Gray. Aided by an Internet genius, a billionaire's sexy widow, and a washed-up sports reporter, Alex and Camila discover a $500-million secret that could derail the largest media merger in history.
IT'S A SECRET THAT unearths dark memories from Alex's past. It's a secret that leads back to the morning of 9/11. And it's a secret that could get them both killed.
IN HIS DEBUT THRILLER, A.C. Fuller brings you a young journalist chasing the biggest story of his career--from the courtrooms of New York City to the beaches of Hawaii, from a crowded newsroom to a lavish boardroom at the top of a media empire.
And here's what some other people think about it:
"A keep reading until your eyes hurt book, each chapter more intriguing than the last...Elite Indie Reads anticipates that Fuller will soon be a household name."
-Elite Indie Reads
"The Anonymous Source evokes comparisons to John Grisham's finest--The Firm and The Pelican Brief--with a touch of Woodward and Bernstein's All the President's Men...A high-stakes, explosive debut novel from a talented new writer sure to do damage to the best-seller lists."
-Robert Dugoni, #1 Amazon and New York Times Bestselling Author of My Sister's Grave
"Read the literary equivalent of heroin."
-Josh, Amazon reviewer
"Fuller's writing is a pleasure to read and it's easy to get completely immersed in his prose. There were several times where I sat down for a few minutes to read a chapter and before I knew it I'd been sitting for over an hour."
-The Bibliophile Chronicles
"An ode to American news served just the way I like it--fast, bloody, and utterly righteous."
-Roger Hobbs, New York Times Bestselling Author of Ghostman
"A.C. Fuller's writing style is a joy to read. Not stiff in the slightest (as I sort of imagined--unfairly perhaps--was the norm for this genre), he layers in beautiful but spare detail, keeps the prose tight and the plot moving, without ever sacrificing style or voice or atmosphere..."
-Emma Scott, author of Rush, Love Beyond Words, Unbreakable, and How to Save a Life
"From the smoky streets of New York to Hawaiian paradise, Fuller's story takes us through the minds of a reporter, a grieving woman and a killer, daring us not to turn the page. As a reporter, I relished the chase. As a reader, I can't wait for more."
Julia Park Tracey, Author of Veronica Layne Gets the Scoop and Veronica Layne Has a Nose for News

Rum Luck - Ben Cooper woke up in a Costa Rican jail cell to find himself arrested on suspicion of murder.
Worse, Ben bought a bar on the beach from the victim, hours before the man’s death. With his ex-fiancée’s life savings. So much for parting on good terms.

But to survive the sinister surf town of Tamarindo, they will need every skill at their disposal—including those they’d rather forget they have.
Rum Luck was a finalist for an Arthur Ellis award from the Crime Writers of Canada. It's the first book in the Bar on a Beach Mystery series.
